4titude 190μm clear base imaging microplate, black frame. Optically Clear Tissue Culture Plates have been designed for high content screening (HCS) assays in drug development and related areas. They are also suitable for homogeneous assays, employing fluorescence intensity, FRET and TR-FRET where measurements are bottom-read. The high-quality optical base plate assures the necessary accuracy and consistency for automated high throughput systems, generating optimum signal-to-noise ratios. Using state-of-the-art manufacturing technology, we have developed a product which offers several key advantages to the end user.

Optically Clear Tissue Culture Plates are assembled using unique patented laser welding technology which reduces auto fluorescence and does not inhibit cell growth. Available with 190μm polystyrene base. Available TC treated: our advanced tissue-culture (TC) treatment method evenly coats each well for optimal cell adhesion properties for highest reproducibility between wells, plates and batches.

Key Features:

• Leak free
• Free from DNase, RNase, human genomic DNA, and cyto-toxic
• Optimum signal-to-noise ratios
• Good cell adhesion
• Wicking and bubble formation eliminated
• SBS footprint
• Alphanumeric grid reference
• Recommended for confocal microscopy due to reduced cross-talk and superior base flatness
• Reduced auto fluorescence ensures their suitability for fluorescent assays
• Suitable for assays that measure absorbance in the visible light range (400-900nm wavelengths)
• Suitable for colorimetric assays
• Suitable for homogeneous assays
• Suitable for use in BMG lab tech, Molecular Devices, Promega Glomax and other plate readers
• Suitable for adhesive and heat sealing: our Moisture Barrier Seal 96 (4ti-0516/96) is recommended as it is optically clear and allows repeated imaging without removal, reducing contamination risks
• Available with 190μm polystyrene base
• All plates come sterilized, apart from 4ti-0224
• TC treated option available (4ti-0221)
• Available barcoded upon request

4titude 96 well semi-skirted plate, vertically scored, snaps easily into strips of 8 tubes or part plates, cut corner A12; low profile, 0.1ml polypropylene wells, polycarbonate frame; working volume: <100μl, total well capacity: 200μl. Our FrameStar Breakable Vertically PCR Plates, Low

4titude 96 well semi-skirted plate, vertically scored, snaps easily into strips of 8 tubes or part plates, cut corner A12; low profile, 0.1ml polypropylene wells, polycarbonate frame; working volume: <100μl, total well capacity: 200μl. Our FrameStar Breakable Vertically PCR Plates, Low Profile utilize the 2-component design of the FrameStar range, which combines the advantages of thin-walled polypropylene tubes for optimum PCR results and a rigid frame portion for easy and reliable handling. This low profile plate has shorter wells than the standard profile plate (4ti-1000), decreasing the "dead space" between the heated lid of the thermal cycler and the sample. This eliminates condensation on the side wall of the tube, preventing reduction in PCR volume and increasing the efficiency of the reaction. Low profile products are especially recommended for use with reaction volumes below 20μl.

Key Features:

• Free from DNase, RNase, human genomic DNA, and endotoxin/pyrogen
• 2-component design prevents distortion of tube strips
• Ultra-smooth, uniform, thin-walled polypropylene tubes for optimum PCR and real-time (RT-qPCR) results
• Low profile 0.1ml (100μl) working volume, with a 0.2ml (200μl) total well capacity when used with sealing options
• End tabs for easy handling and labeling
• Eliminates strip breakage
• Alphanumeric grid reference to aid well and sample identification
• Rigid PCR plate that can be broken into smaller plate sections
• Fits majority of thermal cyclers
• Compatible with standard multichannel pipette
• Available with the following frame color options for the clear well variety: purple, blue, clear, green, red, black, and white
• Also available as a black frame with white wells for use with optical assays such as qPCR
• Also available as FrameStar Breakable Vertically PCR Plate (0.2ml well capacity option)
• 2D coding option

4titude pierceable adhesive aluminum foil, strong adhesive, peelable; suitable for high temperature applications

This aluminum foil seal has a strong acrylic adhesive which produces a seal of high integrity. It was developed for PCR and other high temperature applications due to its effectiveness in preventing sample evaporation. The PCR Foil Seal is pierceable; when pierced, the foil tears in an irregular manner which prevents the formation of a vacuum. It also has perforated end tabs for easy application and removal by peeling.

For all adhesive seals, the best sealing results are achieved using the hand held Adhesive Seal Roller (4ti-0502).

Key Features:

• Pierceable
• Peelable
• Seal integrity range: -40°C to 120°C
• Free from DNase, RNase, and human genomic DNA
• Applications: PCR, incubation, storage
• Suitable for cutting to fit part plates
• Sheet format: 130 x 80mm, to fit all standard SBS footprint PCR and qPCR plates, microplates, assay and storage plates

4titude optically clear adhesive film, pressure activated adhesive, peelable; suitable for qPCR and other imaging techniques including crystallization

Optically clear seal specifically developed for optical applications, particularly qPCR. It is non sticky when removed from the packaging; this aids handling when wearing gloves. The adhesive is contained within small capsules, allowing light to pass through to ensure the optical clarity of the seal. When the seal is in position, pressure can be applied to burst the capsules, releasing a strong adhesive only where the seal touches the raised well rims of the plate - the rest of the seal area above the wells remains optically clear.

Key Features:

• Non-pierceable
• Peelable
• Seal integrity range: -80°C to 110°C
• Free from DNase, RNase, and human genomic DNA
• Non-sterile
• Applications: qPCR and other fluorescent applications, plate readers, microscopy and protein crystallization (96 or 384 well)
• Removal: will not leave a sticky residue on the plate surface following removal
• Replacement for: ABI^® MicroAmp Optical Adhesive film, Absolute qPCR plate seals and Roche LightCycler^® sealing foils
• Sheet format: 140 x 77mm, to fit all standard SBS footprint PCR and qPCR plates, microplates, assay and storage plates with 96 round wells
• Roll format: 100m x 80mm, approx. 700 seals
